SHORTLIST ANNOTATED RESOURCES A-Z

Al-Khalili J. & McFadden, J., 2014. Life on the Edge: The Coming of Age of Quantum Biology. Bantam Press.Transworld Digital. London, UK.

The first book ever that describes how quantum physics can be applied in biology. It discusses physiological processes that are also relevant for farming and gardening. The ‘communication’ between proteins of our DNA, the geographical orientation of birds, bees and reptiles and the efficiency of photosynthesis in plant leafs. Quite accessible for interested readers.

The energies in fertilizers and in the cosmos preside over crop production. What makes each thing different is the energy pattern and frequency at which it resonates. The book is a manual on how to tap and use “life-force energy” to develop food production practices that are both high quality and non-destructive.

The book contains 2 parts: Diagnosis and Therapy. In diagnosis the reader learns to peceive and judge the radiation of soils, plants and trees. This diagnosis of the life force energy of living beings is the starting point for treatment. The treatments are based on orgon energy, radionics, geometrical forms and symbols and they combine the human intention with the use of electronic devices. A very basic learning book.

Cutting-edge information about the interface between spirituality and ecology and about practical examples of healing environments from a distance. The book shows how the emerging connections between (quantum) science and universal spiritual laws give us new tools for working with life energy and consciousness as well as influencing events. The book summarizes the practical applications in 10 Principles of Energetic Guardianship. Foreword by Ervin Laszlo.

Berendt brings all reality back to its tonal structure. The world is sound, rhythm and vibration. It shows how modern knowledge confirms old wisdom. He connects musicians with zen masters and modern physicists. The book offers an inspiring music based worldview.

Birch, Charles, 1990. On Purpose. A new way of thinking for the new millennium. New South wales University Press Ltd. Kensington NSW Australia. ISBN 0-86840-371-7.

Birch merges the ecological crisis with process philosophy (A.N.Whitehead) and quantum physics into a evolutionary challenge for humanity.

A fundamental but also practical guide to explore our heart connections with nature. It connects shamanic intuition, neuroscience and quantum physics. It discusses the entrainment of heart and brain and the role of electromagnetism in communicating with nature.

This book is a follow-up on Tuning In to Nature for agriculture. The entire electromagnetic spectrum is covered, everything from the short radioactive waves used to sterilize male screw flies so the female lays sterile eggs; to the long-wave radio frequencies that penetrate the soil, control and enhance root growth and the immune system of plants and animals. Explains not only the visible-light spectrum, but also the invisible high-energy nuclear and low-energy infrared and radio portions of the electromagnetic spectrum.

One of the very first authors that introduced us into the wave-structure of reality. He started his discoveries during WW 2, being a radio-communicator with English aircraft above the continent and studied the behaviour of night moths in light with various frequencies. Callahan also elaborates his finding for practical applications in food production.

The book describes the fundamental insights and reflections of Schauberger in energy. It elaborates on sound as a formative energy, the phenomenon of resonance and the creative energy-vortex, on magnetism and electricity. It also describes the importance of temperature on the workings of water. It is strong on its description of the dynamics of flowing water. It gives a challenging view on trees and light and on the metabolism of trees. One chapter is devoted to agriculture and soil fertility.

The book is a lively presentation of a practical method for humanity to design an eco-treaty with plants and animal beings. The approach is based on some fundamental convictions: that nature in conscious, that people can communicate with it and that any form of live has the right to live.

Currivan Jude, 2005. The Wave: a life changing journey into the heart and mind of the cosmos. O Books John Hunt Publ Hants, UK. ISBN 978-90-202-8466-9.

Again a book that describes the connections between old gnosis and modern science. Consciousness expresses itself in energy, which in turn manifests itself in waves. The cosmos is created continuously through endless interferences of waves. It explains the principles of esoteric knowledge and energetic healing. But is also explores the question how we can live in harmony with ourselves and the cosmos and about the power of love. We need heart and mind together in a powerful spirituality.

Davis Stephen, 2010. Butterflies are free to fly. A new and radical approach to spiritual evolution. L&G Productions, LLC. ButterfliesFree.com

A very accessible explanation of the new paradigm in quantum theory. It describes for example the double-slit experiment that shows that unobserved electrons tend to behave as waves and not as particles. It also describes the effect of observation of the electrons: once observed they ‘collapse’ into the particle behaviour. The observer matters in studying reality.

The book explores the functioning of the human and the cosmic energy fields and the mutual influences. It describes the power of intention. It introduces the universal calibration lattice. It moves from growing in consciousness to healing with your hands. With very clear drawings.

The author designs a global project of eco-shamanism. It involves tasks at the four levels of mind, body, environment and spirit. And it suggests a programme of ‘counterpractices’ that both invert your worldview and suggest luminous acts. It describes very clearly 18 counterpractices and 53 practices

Findhorn Community 1975. ‘The Findhorn Garden. Pioneering a new vision of man and nature in cooperation.’ Turnstone Books and Wildwood House London UK. ISBN 07045 0231 3.

The book tells the story of an early eco-community in the practical efforts and spiritual guiding to producing extraordinary vegetables on poor soil. The book openly reveals the lessons in receiving guidance of nature spirits for growing crops.

The Japanese farmer Fukuoka offers an in-depth view in the different philosophies of farming and of science. It describes the errors of the intellect and the illusions of natural science. It gives a critique of the laws of agricultural science and also offers an alternative in Mahayana natural farming (pure natural when man becomes one with nature) and Hinayana natural farming (natural organic, when men seeks entry into the Mahayana realm) and scientific farming (where men exists in contradiction and is estranged from nature). His lessons are challenging: do-nothing-farming.

Examining the role of religion in society, at a symbolically important date in history. ‘We must revive the theological underpinnings of our original Religions in which the individual related to society, the natural world and the cosmos.’ The issue emphasizes the importance of our world view and the spiritual and religious backgrounds of the environmental crisis. And it refers to inspiration from archaic societies, Tao, Egyptian cosmography, Vedic India, the book of Enoch in the Judeo-Christian tradition, the Christian tradition and African Churches.

In 1935, Einstein asked a profound question about our understanding of Nature: could, as predicted by quantum theory, looking at one object sometimes instantaneously affect another far-away object? Einstein did not believe in quantum theory’s prediction. 80 years later, Delft University of Technology finally performed what is seen as the ultimate test against Einstein’s worldview: the loophole-free Bell test. The scientists found that two electrons, separated 1.3 km from each other on the Delft University campus, can indeed have an invisible and instantaneous connection. The Delft experiment not only closes a chapter in one of the most intriguing debates in science, it may also enable a radically new form of secure communications that is fundamentally impossible to ‘eavesdrop’ into.

Ho, M-W.,2008.The Rainbow and the Worm, The physics of Organisms. 3rd ed. World Scientific.

A serious inquiry into Schrödinger’s question, “What is life?”. It takes the reader through many areas of contemporary physics, from non-equilibrium thermodynamics and quantum optics to liquid crystals and fractals. In the process, the reader is gaining novel insights not only into the physics, but also into “the poetry and meaning of being alive. This third edition includes new findings on the central role of biological water in organizing living processes; it also completes the author’s novel theory of the organism and its applications in ecology, physiology and brain science. Titles of some chapters will interest the visitors of this website: ‘Life is a Little Electric Current’; How Coherent Is the Organism? The Heartbeat of Health and Sensitivity to Weak Electromagnetic Fields; Crystal Consciousness; Quantum Entanglement and Coherence; Ignorance of the External Observer. The book also shows the scientific logic behind closing energy and nutrient cycles in farming.

This book addresses the issue of the quality of food we eat, and what steps can be taken to regain a personal and spiritual connection to the food we consume, and the nature elements that help us to produce our food. The book contains “easy to do” techniques of creating sustainable food from city to country dwellers and resources for returning stewardship and partnership to our lives.

The book discusses different ways of seeing and doing, related to resilience of natural systems. It compares linear and circular systems. Why linear thinking creates Vicious Circles and how joining the dots creates Virtuous Circles. At the end it summarizes the relevant concepts, values and principles and argues in favor of food sovereignty.

Researchers have adopted the use of magnetic field as a new pre-sowing, environmental friendly technique. Enhancements on plant characteristics with economic impact on producer’s income could be the future of a modern, organic and sustainable agriculture. A field experiment with durum wheat was established at Soil Science Institute of Athens, Greece, in the winter of 2014. Seeds were treated using a PAPIMI electromagnetic field generator for 0, 30 and 45 minutes one day before planting. The results indicate that this innovative technique can increase the yield of durum wheat, through enhanced absorption of nutrients. Pre-sowing treatment of the seeds leads to vigorous plant growth that are more productive.

Kieft illustrates the use of electro-magnetic waves in both modern and traditional agriculture. Some contributed to enhancing animal and plant production and food quality. Others enabled early detection and effective control of diseases and pests. Our world should not be seen as being made of matter and energy only, but also of quantum information carried by energy and circulating in the vacuum among particles and holding matter together. This new understanding of the soil-plant-animal-man relationships should make agriculture more efficient and less harmful to our environment and health. It should enlarge our concept of modern agriculture to a “quantum agriculture” considering the role of electro-magnetic radiations in life processes. Ultimately an even broader concept should encompass the “intuitive agriculture” practiced since millennia by the traditional farmers and their shamans, that is now being investigated by young research workers.

This paper explores new technologies in farming based on electromagnetic theories and techniques based on intuitive understanding of plants and animals. It also explores the question how to understand and further develop these techniques in order to contribute to sustainable agriculture.

The author has studied innovative farming techniques, like electromagnetics and intuitive knowing. He furthers his conclusions of electromagnetic treatments in animal husbandry to the impact of nature environments on human health. Nature-health research is invited to complement their vision – until now based only on indirect effects of nature on human health – with his findings from farming – based on direct effects of electromagnetic vibrations occurring in nature.

The report from an American agronomist, who travelled to the East and was so amazed about the well developed farming systems approach, that he wanted to preach it in the USA as well. But is was completely ignored. Picked up in the Netherlands in 2010 by Eburon, Delft and the Stichting12Ambachten and translated into ’Vierduizend jaar Kringlooplandbouw’ door Sietz Leeflang..

Kohanov Linda, 2003. Riding between The Worlds. Expanding Our Potential Through the Way of the Horse. New World Library, Novato, California USA.

Horse trainer Linda Kohanov had already written THE TAO OF EQUUS, a multidisciplinary exploration of the powerful spiritual, emotional, and psychological connections between people and horses. Its provocative narrative, blending her story of prescient dreams and ancestral communication with a wide-ranging exploration of equine-facilitated therapy practices, created a worldwide demand for her workshops and lectures. Building on this theoretical groundwork in her bestselling debut, RIDING BETWEEN THE WORLDSconcentrates on sharing many extraordinary, life-changing accounts. “I have the opportunity to share some of these stories, illustrating that personal anecdotes I initially worried were too strange to confess in print are not unique, but rather representative of the powerful connections that humans and horses around the world are having with increasing regularity as taboos against treating animals as equals lose influence,” she says. In RIDING BETWEEN THE WORLDS, she delves more deeply into the equine mind and spirit to discover what they have to teach us about the untapped potential of our own species.

Kurdyumov Nikolay, 2012. ‘Growing fruit with a smile, planting seeds of laughter, reaping fruits of joy.’ Deep Snow Press, NY, USA. Order the book at RingingCedars.com which is also the site to order the books of Vladimir Megre about Anastasia.

Very practical, humoristic but deep book about fruit gardening, with a feeling of connection. Like the algebra of harmony for your datsja. Specifically for Siberia and other colder areas.

Based on a new scientific paradigm in sync with experience-based spirituality, Ervin Laszlo and Anthony Peake explore how consciousness is continually present in the cosmos and can exist without connection to a living organism. They examine the rapidly growing body of scientific evidence supporting the continuity of consciousness. With proof that consciousness is basic to the cosmos and immortal in its deeper, nonmanifest realm, Laszlo and Peake reveal the purpose of consciousness is to manifest in living beings in order to continuously evolve.

Lauterwasser, Alexander, 2006. ‘Water Sound Images, The Creative Music of the Universe’.

Quantum physics grew out of the realization that matter arises due to wave functions which perfectly meet themselves. These vortices recur, concentrating charge in self-organizing, self-reinforcing resonance and thus are stable. Basically, this means that everything in the universe is vibration, either free and experienced in waves such as light, or bound in vortices in self-reinforcing, self-similar spirals. Both are influenced by quantum non-local pattern energy, which can be broadcast using a stationary, self-driven equivalent of a crystal radio set. Called a Field Broadcaster and built by Hugh Lovel using his copyright design, one of these units can cover 6000 or more acres. He aims to raise the level of understanding in biology and agriculture where the intriguing rules of quantum physics are by far the best explanation of how living organisms interact with the soil as well as the wider universe.

McTaggart Lynne, 2002. `The Field. The quest for the secret force of the universe’. Harper Collins Publ New York USA. ISBN 978-0-06-093117-9.

A very accessible book presenting many ancient farming methods that would fit well in quantum agriculture. ‘Tapping nature’s subtle energies for your farm or garden.’ In fact, the first book giving a short introduction in these techniques. It has no scientific pretention.

Antropologist Narby explores the sources of knowing of Native American shamans. He concludes that the scientific knowledge of a cell-biologist might tell the same story about the foundations of life, as the dreamed answers of a shaman.

Nuthall, P.L., 2012. The Intuitive World of Farmers – The case of grazing management systems and experts. In Agricultural Systems 107 (2012) 65-73.

Intuition is a critical component of farmers’ decision making and underlies human capital. A model of decision making, including intuition, was developed. The components included management style, experience, intelligence, decision reflection, self-critiquing, and similar.Intuitive ability proved to be critically important in achieving objectives. The pre-requisites of good intuition were experience, technical and decision theory knowledge, and, in part, anticipation skills. Developing successful intuition requires consulting widely, personal reflection and critiquing in a constantly evolving decision skill. The model was original and the first to integrate the factors giving rise to business decision making intuition. The results make it clear how to improve intuition, and underpin understanding farmers and their modus operandi.

Sound waves are a specific factor which universally influences the psychosomatic condition of a person. This influence can be either optimizing or pathogenic. The conclusions are important for the physical culture educational sphere.

One of the first articles in a farm journal about the impact of music on plant growth. It suggests that the frequencies of around 5000 Hz are in the range of bird songs. It also suggests and shows that the stomata react on the music. 15 minutes after starting the music, the spraying of foliar fertilizer should start. And you only need half of it as the plant with its opened stomata takes in much more than without music.

Great effort to relate consciousness with physics and subtle energies.

Prigogine Ilya and Isabelle Stengers, 1987. Order out of Chaos. ISBN 90-351-021206.

A passionate contemplation about man and the universe. The book shows that the knowledge of disciplines of biology, physics, necessity and coincidence, science and humanity must be brought together again. The Belgian theorist and physicist Prigogine (born in Moscow) has devoted himself to theories of irreversible thermo-dynamics (of irreversible heat processes) and the self-organisation of systems. One of his chapters is: ‘Order through Fluctuations’. Another chapter ‘From being to becoming’. Discusses quantum mechanics and the phenomenon of entropy.

Describes the discovery of Global Scaling theory and its most important principles. Challenging, but realistic as already one animal healing centre (for horses) has been built based on these principles. Every organ and every animal or plant has its optimum dimensions, related to their size and weight.

Examines the techniques used in different esoteric schools for altering states of consciousness from a scientific point of view. It supports the growing appreciation of a fusion between ancient wisdom, Gaia theories and principles of the new physics. Our modern world reflects an exciting new merging of conscious and subconscious, East and West, science with magical mysticism.

Where Psyche meets Gaia. The psychopathology of the Human-Nature relationship. The all-consuming self. The wilderniss effect. Therapy for a dying planet. Shamanic counseling. The skill of ecological perception. The spirit of the Goddess. The ecology of magic. Keepers of the earth.

Very accessible booklet discussing photons and biophotons, and their relationship with consciousness, our self-healing capacity, the vitality of water, healthy foods, the role of ‘rhythms’ and of ‘order’, breathing, the biophoton field – intermediary between body and soul, and applied biophoton science..

Talbot analyses several publications of David Bohm related to quantum physics. The author first elaborates on entanglement and nonlocality, then on order and degrees of order. And he describes how Bohm arrives at the distinction between the hidden implicit order and the manifest explicit order. And the metaphor for an even better understanding of order, was the hologram. … The existence of a deeper and holographically organized order also explains why reality becomes nonlocal at the subquantum level. Saying that every part of a piece of a holographic film contains all the information possessed by the whole, is really just another way of saying that the information is distributed non-locally.

Anthropological study of the Earth Cult among Sisala (Ghana) from a cosmological perspective. The subsistence farmers take recourse to their relations with the Land as the fundamental grounding of their religious beliefs and praxes. The Land is experienced both as a lived-world and a supra-human being, it structures their institutions and activities for a harmonious life.

The book that ignited my quest into understanding this secret life of plants. A very accessible description of a dozen experiences about the sensitivity and memory of plants. They also discuss the influence of human mood on plant physiology. A good starter.

Tromp was professor in geology in Egypt, quite ahead of his time. He starts with 200 pages about electro-magnetic fields in and around living beings, including human beings. Then it describes the geophysical fields: electric, magnetic and radioactive. And the climatological or meteorological field. He spends 36 pages on further evidence of the influence of external electro-magnetic field son living organisms and deals with divining and kindred phenomena. In over a hundred pages he describes rhabdomancy, radiesthesia, hypnotism and the sensitivity of animals for direction. His final chapter is about psychical physics.

In this original book, Luca Turin explores the two competing theories of smell. Is scent determined by molecular shape or molecular vibrations? Turin describes in fascinating detail the science, the evidence, and the debate and pays homage to the scientists who went before. Turin bets on vibrations as the best explaining theory.

It is a synthesis of common insights of ancient wisdom traditions and related to cutting-edge scientific discoveries. These principles create order and harmony in the universe. The book is not writing about agriculture or gardening but its principles would apply.

A description of around 20 case studies about the function of sacred places in various cultures and continents. It insists on the enormous relevance of such spots in the conservation of plants and biodiversity, and the prevention of erosion. Some of these stories include energetic and spiritual connections.

The best book I know of, that introduces the reader in the history and the science of photons in food, in human health etc. The key term is coherence of bio-photon behaviour, it is suggested as a new indicator for health quality of food.

Martha Williams once facilitated a training in animal communication in which I participated. It was a great learning opportunity. Her key message is also not easy for many intellectual people: ‘Trust your intuition!’

Looking for explanations of her observations, Martha arrives at the conclusion that quantum physics helped her the most.

Zyl van, Pieter Johannes Jacobus, 2012. ‘Radio Frequency Energy for Bioelectric Stimulation of Plants.’ Dissertation M-TECH in Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment, University of Johannesburg, South Africa.

This dissertation is explaining at a highly electro-technical level, what frequencies are broadcasted on tomatoes in his experiment testing the reaction of tomatoes on electricity leaking from electrical wires. Compared to the non-treated tomatoes, the treated tomatoes had a 56% higher mass production and no disease problems. His explanation evolves around the frequencies of Potash K and Magnesium Mg, resonating respectively at 16 Hz and at 32 Hz. Both elements play a crucial role in the exchange of matter in and out cells.

Julien, after a plane crash, was miraculously cured by a traditional shaman. He went back to understand how this could happen. Julien understood the energetic aspects of the shamanic healing as well as the importance of energetic and spiritual healing for the harmony in society. He documents the main messages of these Native Americans for modern Western cultures. This work by Eric Julien has led to the making of the movie Aluna.

Yanninck van Doorne is the first agronomist, who did his PhD on sound and plants. His conclusions were so convincing that he developed a full set of agricultural advisory services including music and magnetic devices. His team is basically working in Belgium and France. He shares many experiences on his websites.

This firm Soyana explains for its clients how they approach their quest for quality and vital food. It shows with many pictures of crystallization patterns, what is the visible difference between bio and non-bio food. It explains as well their 12 criteria to achieve the most healthy food they sell. Even their staff holds regular meditation to spiritually upgrade the food quality.

This institue reports studies made by mrs. Naomi Kempe on the electrical and subtle energy reactions of people on the radiation of their environment. Based on carefull radioesthetic monitoring. Early and inventive work about our sixth sense.
